51 results about "Celestial sphere" patented technology

In astronomy and navigation, the celestial sphere is an abstract sphere that has an arbitrarily large radius and is concentric to Earth. All objects in the sky can be conceived as being projected upon the inner surface of the celestial sphere, which may be centered on Earth or the observer. If centered on the observer, half of the sphere would resemble a hemispherical screen over the observing location.

Method and device for free conversion between space coordinate systems for solar system space flight design simulation

This application relates to the field of orbital dynamics design and simulation technology, and provides a method and apparatus for free transformation between spatial coordinate systems for solar system spacecraft design and simulation. This method transforms the position and velocity of different coordinate systems to the celestial coordinate system for origin transformation, and then rotates to the target coordinate system. This allows position and velocity to be arbitrarily transformed between coordinate systems included in the coordinate transformation model library. Furthermore, when expanding to a new coordinate system, only the transformation function between the new coordinate system and the co-centered celestial coordinate system is needed, without having to calculate the transformation functions between the new coordinate system and all other coordinate systems separately. This achieves effective organization of scattered coordinate system transformation relationships, facilitating the design and simulation of spacecraft missions and reducing the workload generated by transformations between multiple spatial coordinate systems.
